Re: Retrive file name from full path

basename

I'd not count on the period being there, or that the extension is 3
characters. Maybe back in the Windows 3.1 days. :)

The scan should work for the last /, but I would also convert \ to / in the
string using the %scanrpl BIF first, then look for the last /. You never
know how the data will get in there.
